About this firm

The firm prides itself on being one of the preeminent plaintiff products liability practices in the United States. The firm has been a leader in products liability litigation ever since Mark P. Robinson Jr. was co-counsel in the landmark trial of Grimshaw v. Ford Motor Company, which resulted in a $128 million dollar verdict. Since that time the firm has represented thousands of individuals, businesses and public entities in actions involving defective products which have caused personal injuries, deaths, property damage or business losses.

The firm's courtroom successes in catastrophic personal injury cases include several noteworthy trials, and record setting verdicts. Mark and Jeoffrey Robinson were co-counsel in Anderson vs. General Motors, an automotive crashworthiness case, which resulted in a $4.9 billion dollar verdict. In August of 2006, Mark Robinson was lead trial counsel in Barnett v. Merck, a prescription drug injury action which resulted in a $51 million dollar jury verdict. In 2003 Jeoffrey Robinson and Allan Davis obtained a $31 million dollar verdict on behalf of a worker injured in a ski-lift maintenance accident.

In the field of automotive products liability, the firm has litigated hundreds of cases involving fuel system fires, SUV rollovers, occupant restraint system failures, roof crush, seat failures, and tire design and manufacturing defects, and has obtained numerous multi-million dollar jury verdicts, judgments and settlements, including a $15 million jury verdict against Hyundai by Mark Robinson and Kevin Calcagnie.

The firm has extensive experience in mass tort litigation and class actions involving pharmaceuticals, toxic exposure, medical devices, and military and commercial aviation disasters, and has represented thousands of individuals harmed by defective prescription drugs. In federal multidistrict litigation as well as state coordinated litigation, the firm has acted as liaison counsel or as a committee member in several nationwide mass torts. The firm also represented the County of Los Angeles in unfair business practices actions against the tobacco industry. Under the terms of a settlement agreement the County will receive approximately $3.3 billion from tobacco manufacturers over 25 years. In 2003 the firm obtained a $45 million settlement in a consumer fraud class action.

The firm has also had success in a number of cases against public entities involving dangerous conditions arising from the defective design and maintenance of public roads and highways, including a $10.9 million verdict against the State of California Department of Transportation obtained by Allan Davis and Jeoffrey Robinson.

The firm is listed in Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers and is able to communicate in Spanish.
